Bluebells and Campions, Wakerley Wood

Oil on Board, 10 x 14 inches

Those very astute ones among you may have spotted in the last photo in my Patchings Post, that there was a woody painting on the easel.......this is it finished, having had my fingers removed from the acute frost-bite suffered on that last day.

This is a glorious ancient wood near home, where Bluebells and Red Campions thrive. Isn't Campion just a glorious word ? You can see the exposed roots of the trees on the uphill path and I enjoyed putting in the two Dandelion clocks in the right foreground as a subtle touch against the gorgeous blue-lilacs and pinks of the woodland carpet.
